Formerly "The Blind Chatelaine's Poker Poetics". Performed from Galatea's mountain -- where nature, art, poetry and wine converge with much love -- she now goes through her keychain as if it were a rosary, unlocking doors for you. Because if Rimbaud said "I is Another," the Chatelaine shares, "Moi am all about Toi."

ACCOUNTING POETICS (NOT!)

I was mailing a book to Bahrain yesterday. The address ended with "Kingdom of Bahrain". The post office clerk kept saying the postal machine wouldn't recognize the address. Some hoo-haa ensued, then I determined he was typing in "Kingdom".

I suggested helpfully with a straight face, "Try typing in Bahrain."

That worked.

Btw, he said he didn't know where that is. I said, "That's where the King wears a turban."
